Wilson, the State Police spokesman, said Farmington officers responded around 11:30 p.m. to a domestic violence incident at 5308 Valley View. He said officers mistakenly approached a house across the street, 5305 Valley View, knocked on the door and announced themselves as police.

Wilson said there was no answer and police asked dispatchers to have the reporting party on the initial call come to the door. He said lapel footage showed as officers backed away Dotson opened the screen door with a gun.

“At this point in the encounter, officer(s) fired at least one round from their duty weapon(s) striking Mr. Dotson,” Wilson said in a release. “After the initial shooting, Mr. Dotson’s wife, also armed with a handgun, fired from the doorway of the residence. Once again, officer(s) fired.”

A lot of paranoid people in the US. There's no law against carrying a gun inside your own house. Lot of people in the South answer the door with a gun. They even take it to the toilet with them. You never know what can happen when you get caught with your pants down.

That's pretty paranoid
I have no problem with the gun in the house...but I don't think it's wise to answer the door with a gun in your hand if the police announce themselves...

I am sure that someplace in the universe, at some time, there was a home invasion where the home invaders dressed up as police officers... But it is extremely bizarre. If we murder police based on nearly impossible conspiracy theories, we will have no more police left.

Robbers get the wrong address all the time.

15% of civilians who experience police threat of or use of force during legal interventions are injured.

An estimated 250,000 civilian injuries are caused by law enforcement officers annually.

More than 600 people are killed by law enforcement in the U.S. each year. I believe it's well over 1000 but I gave the research stats.

Cops are legalized violet criminals with qualified immunity.
